Utah’s issues First Congressional District Wolthuis a former Administrative Assistant to Senator Wallace Bennett cited McKay’s refusal to meet in a televised debate on Channel Two his attempt to leave the candidacy of George McGovern out of the campaign and his support of the agency shop as issues of primary importance in the campaign thus far The implementation of the agency shop “would require repeal of Utah’s right to work law” said Wolthuis “a move that I definitely oppose” McKay a 1962 graduate of USU said the issue is really “who you want to represent you “I voted over 600 times in my first two years” he said “You’re not going to be able to run out and take a poll on every issue” As far as the McGovern candidacy is concerned McKay pointed to the fact that “he’s running for President and I’m running for Congress" In the question and answer period that followed the opening remarks poth1 McKay and Wolthuis expressed support for legislation limiting campaign spending In response to a question concerning his seniority on the House Appropriations Committee McKay emphasized the importance of the committee and assessed his chances of moving can-fliaat- es up the ladder after the coming election as good Wolthuis indicated that he had been promised a position on the Appropriations Committee or one of comparable importance by House Minority Leader Gerald Ford of Michigan McKay responded to a Student Life reporter that Wolthuis claim of special privilege with the Republican leadership was unrealistic In responding to an inquiry as to the primary sources of their campaign finances McKay said d of that approximately his donations earner from labor groups and that most of this money was from groups Wolthuis challenged McKay’s figures citing a report filed by McKay in which he listed nearly 5Q percent of his donations as coming from labor and 73 percent from out of state Wolthuis reported that his own donations came mainly from the business community with approximately 70 percent from individuals in the state McKay responded to a question regarding his vote on revenue one-thir- in-sta- te sharing by saying that he voted against the bill for a variety of reasons Among these was a lack of “revenue to share” a surplus among some local government units and a desire not to tamper with the basic American system of government government and the process of legislation” When asked by Student Life how he felt his position of the Appropriations Committee had benefited Utah Congressman McKay noted a $45 million grant for the Central Utah project

physics department as he described Dr Raphael Hatch met Raphael in Aspen Colorado last year and arranged to have him come to USU After Dr Raphael received his PhD in theoretical physics under Nobel Prize winner Julian Schwinger at Harvard he held positions at Berkeley Pennsylvania and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton where he was associated with Prof J Robert he joined the Carthusian Order and moved to the Grande Chartreuse Monastary in the French Alps For six years there he studied the philosophy of religion and the philosophy of science In 1959 serious illness forced him to leave the rigorous life of the order in and he continued his studies in the philosophy of science with Jacques Maritain one of the world’s foremost philosphers in France A 1965 Later he
